Good Morning Britain (often shortened to GMB) is a British breakfast programme, broadcast on weekdays from 6.00 am to 8.30 am on ITV. Good Morning Britain originally launched in 1983 for TV-am before being replaced by GMTV and later Daybreak. Good Morning Britain relaunched on 28 April 2014, after Daybreak was cancelled. Good Morning Britain has an audience share of around 18%, with around 700,000 tuning in.
So far there have been various main presenters; from the beginning in April 2014, the hosts were Susanna Reid, Ben Shephard, Charlotte Hawkins and Sean Fletcher, but in January 2015, Reid and Shephard became the two main hosts, with Hawkins reading the news and Fletcher, as sports editor, presenting the sports news. In September 2015, Shephard cut his appearances to just two days a week, with Kate Garraway covering the other three until November 2015 when Piers Morgan joined the presenting line-up. Garraway is currently a newsreader on Thursdays and a co-host on Fridays, often joined by Shephard.
Good Morning Britain is a news, lifestyle, showbiz and entertainment magazine programme which informs the day ahead, bringing the latest news, sport and weather headlines to the nation. The early-morning show is interspersed with celebrity interviews, human-interest features, showbiz updates, financial advice, political news, health items and live reports from locations across the UK and around the world.
Good Morning Britain launched on 28 April 2014, with four main presenters – Susanna Reid, Ben Shephard, Charlotte Hawkins and Sean Fletcher. In-depth news stories were presented, as well as shorter bulletins and headline updates. Sports news was also featured with Fletcher, and Shephard also contributed when Fletcher was unavailable. Weather bulletins were presented by Laura Tobin, with Alex Beresford standing in when Tobin was unavailable. Entertainment news took place with Richard Arnold. Interviews and discussions take place throughout the show, usually with two of the four presenters. On most days, a celebrity guest would appear on the show.
